For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Ejiofor’s work, you might want to pay attention...

This actor possesses that rare attribute of portraying individuals of cool, calm, sublime demeanor with explosive intensity boiling just beneath the surface. (i.e. Serenity and Redbelt).

Excellent control in roles portraying adversary and hero, his superb execution of action sequences showing his martial arts prowess should not be overlooked - this individual is one who is well on his way to renowned stardom on the big screen.

You would do well to follow the rise of Chiwetel Ejiofor so as to appreciate the journey all the more when he pushes the envelope of that perceived pinnacle.

He has apparently been cast to play Torque in a film called "The Suffering" based on the video game ( my favourite ). I was first against it but after watching Redbelt today i really think he will do a good job.
